DOUBLE UP FOOD BUCKS PROGRAM

We at Mountain Avenue Market are excited to be the only Fort Collins based retail store participating in the Colorado Double Up Food Bucks program.

This is a game-changer for families relying on SNAP (food stamps). By doubling the value of SNAP benefits spent at participating farmers markets and our store, this innovative program makes it easier than ever to bring home healthy, nutritious foods. Imagine filling your basket with fresh fruits, vegetables, Colorado grown dried beans & lentils, and even food-producing seeds — all while stretching your food budget further!

Here's how it works: Use your EBT card to buy SNAP-eligible foods, and the program matches your spending dollar-for-dollar, up to $20 a day. This means more delicious, local fresh produce and staples on your table without spending extra money. Redeem your Double Up Bucks at Mountain Ave Market, the only brick and mortar where you can spend them in Fort Collins!

Shopping is simple and fun. At farmers markets or The Co-op, every dollar you spend on SNAP-eligible items gets you an equal amount to spend here in our store. Plus, it’s a win-win for everyone—local farmers gain new customers, families get access to more nutritious options, and more food dollars stay within our communities, boosting our neighborhood economy.
